LUMIX Ambassadors

Mitchell Kanashkevich

"Lumix cameras have opened up countless possibilities for my photography. Thanks to their light weight and powerful features, I can shoot in places and in situations where I would’ve never even tried before."

Originally from Belarus but now based in Sydney, Australia, Mitchell Kanashkevich has been traveling throughout virtually all of his adult life, seeking adventure and ways to learn and interact with cultures that are very different from his own. Photography became a great excuse for him to look deeper and to make his experiences more intense.

Emphasizing that his main interest is people, he’s especially fascinated by surviving, evolving ancient traditions; people working in unique, challenging conditions; and those who live in close bond with nature.

The stories he is drawn to are generally those that he comes across on the road, by chance. They’re outside of what the mass media usually shows us about our planet. He wants his images to provide just a tiny bit of a window into those worlds, those lives which don’t get much, if any, coverage.
